"My Will Be Done Or Thy Will Be Done”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 16, 2022

We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray. Illus: A mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's. Before they reached the drive way to McDonald’s the mother noticed a car accident. ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

The Samaritan Appointment

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Mar 16, 2023

Our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't afraid of those who were the “cast off” of society; the sinners, the lepers, the Samaritans, and neither should we.

Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021

The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more
